The mission of Holy Cross School is to provide a faith-filled, rigorous academic environment where students are inspired to become compassionate, competent, and faith-centered leaders now and for future generations.
Holy Cross School is located on a beautifully landscaped nine-acre campus in the heart of Garrett Park, Maryland. The school opened in 1961 soon after the founding of Holy Cross Catholic Parish. Our school serves residents of Montgomery County and the District of Columbia and continues its tradition of academic excellence, spiritual development, and service to the community.
Holy Cross School has an internationally diverse, co-ed student body in Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth grade. The school is fully accredited by Cognia and is a 2013 National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. In addition, Holy Cross holds membership in the National Catholic Education Association, the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, and the International Society for Technology in Education.
At Holy Cross, children receive an education that nurtures the spirit as well as the mind.
